Russian drone "Altius" will be tested with a full range of guided weapons

The Russian reconnaissance and strike drone "Altius" will be tested using the entire spectrum of guided weapons. It is reported by RIA News with reference to a source in the military-industrial complex.

According to the source, in the summer of 2021, a series of tests of the Altius UAV will be carried out to use the entire range of high-precision weapons, including rockets designed specifically for drone. Strikes will be practiced on typical targets: Tanks, artillery, accumulation of manpower, shelters, etc.

Test flights of the Altius prototype are scheduled for the summer of this year, with the first airstrikes on targets at ranges with air-to-surface guided weapons, including high-precision guided missiles and guided bombs from the complex developed specifically for UAVs.

- said the source, adding that tests of conventional free-fall bombs from a drone have already been carried out and recognized as successful.

In mid-February of this year, it became known that the Ministry of Defense had ordered a pilot batch of Altius drones, the delivery time was not disclosed.

Altius-U "is the final appearance of the drone, created as a result of the development and testing of a number of prototypes within the Altair project. The newest unmanned complex is capable of performing the entire range of reconnaissance missions, as well as using aviation means of destruction. In February 2020, it was reported that a drone of high-precision gliding bombs 9-А-7759 "Thunder" was received by the drone.

UAV Altius has a wingspan of 28,5 m, a length of 11,6 m, and take-off weight of 6 tons. The flight altitude is 12 thousand meters, the flight range is up to 10 thousand km. In this case, the UAV can be in the air for up to 48 hours. The installed equipment allows reconnaissance at a great distance. The drone can also be controlled via satellite, which makes its range almost unlimited.

Answer to the Bayraktars

[Azimuth]

Bayraktar has already adopted his Akinji, but this is a qualitatively different class of reconnaissance and strike UAVs.

The Turks are still very far from our, European, American and Israeli UAVs.

[OgnennyiKotik]

Quote: Azimuth

The Turks are still very far from our, European, American and Israeli UAVs.

Why?

[Azimuth]

Technology level ...
Turkey does not have technologies even close to those of Israel, not to mention the technologies of countries like the USA, Great Britain, France or us.
Even orders of magnitude superior and more advanced American drone was intercepted and planted by the Iranians, mind you, on the plane, with the help of our not the most modern electronic warfare system. In the case of Turkey, the Turks are only at the beginning of the journey, while all their weapons systems are a LEGO designer on nodes sometimes not even for military purposes, or of the previous generation, that is, outdated from the beginning. A more advanced China has not yet reached perfection, although it has been producing shock UAVs for a long time, and the Turks will repeat myself at the beginning of their journey, they need more than one decade.
In addition, a modern and self-sufficient military-industrial complex is a school, and specialists, and a lot of money, the Turks simply do not have all this. The Americans and Europeans keep the Turks and have always kept them on a short leash in terms of military-technical cooperation and technology transfer. As a result, everything Turkey has a closed loop. For example, in rocketry, these are mainly Chinese systems, and not the most advanced and new ones, or European old stuff from the times of Tsar Pea. In the artillery, the Turks recently made a noise about the creation of a projectile with a programmable electronic fuse for their Korkut SPAAG, but this is most of all designed for a stupid and narrow-minded peasant somewhere in the Turkish countryside. Any specialist will tell you that this is a system of the 50s, the installation with a twin cannon was widespread in the 80s, it was released even by Myanmar, which now does not leave the news screen, programmable shells were developed by the Germans and Swiss, too, when there was no demand was, so almost 30 years later, with a light heart, they sold it to a junk dealer in the person of the Turkish military-industrial complex.
The same thing with UAVs, the Turks sometimes present everything as if they were the first, but in fact they are simply the cheapest and with a product that is by no means the most modern and advanced.

[OgnennyiKotik]

Everything is clear with you, all the best

[Azimuth]

mistook me for a hurray-patriot? Or do you disagree with the assessment of the capabilities and level of the Turkish military-industrial complex?
Squat at least one original development of the Turks and at least corresponding to the level not even 2020, but for example 2000.

[OgnennyiKotik]

You separate the Turks into a separate group when they are a "western" manufacturer of equipment. Their designs are no different from American, Israeli, European. They have one engineering and technical base, they all study at the same universities, use the same components. Therefore, Turkish developments are no better and no worse than Western ones, they are the same.
The Chinese are worse, they have no access to Western military technology. You can't look at Russian UAVs without tears. The quality of production is low, the components are foreign, the possibilities are ridiculous. Just a Spanish shame, really. The saturation in the troops is ridiculous, well, at least the unfortunate Orlan-10 was scolded. So far, not all channels for the supply of components have been closed.
In the Turkish troops already now shock and reconnaissance UAVs (without foreign, kamikaze, light reconnaissance):
~ 10 Karael
~ 120 Bayraktar TB2
~ 30 ANKA
Soon:
- 6 Akinci (AFAR, V-B missiles)
-? Aksungur

Already, the first 3 of these attack UAVs are being exported.
No purely original developments? Why do they need them? It is expensive and ineffective. It is easier to copy the best developments, they are NATO members, they have access to almost everything. About the fact that they are leaders in the UAV structure, this is the Turkish Uryakly.
While they follow the United States and Israel (Europe is not engaged in the production of M (H) ALE), China is ahead of them due to jet UAVs (there will be Turkish jet drones in 2023), Iran is much worse, but many types and units are produced. Then all the others come, here we are.
PS About the allegedly "planted" by Iran American UAVs are branchy cranberries. The drone broke down or the operator made a mistake, planned and sat down. That's all. UAVs and aircraft crash every year.

Bayraktar's analogs have already put a test batch and tested it.

[OgnennyiKotik]

Orion analogue of MQ-1 and Turkish ANKA. Bayraktar is almost 2 times smaller than them. It has no direct analogue in Russia, it is much larger than the Outpost and much smaller than Orion.

To Syria for testing it, there are Turks with their mongrels, there are a lot of equipment, so to arrange the "Karabakh variant" shaka-lamas!

[sivuch]

In this case, not a good idea - too close to the Turkish border. Erdoganians can fire from the F-16, and without flying into Syria. It's good if ground-based electronic warfare helps, but it's unpredictable.

[Yuriy71]

"The drone can also be controlled via satellite, making its range almost unlimited." And I, naive, thought that the flight range depends on the propulsion system and ..... fuel consumption! In, as it turns out!

[Thrifty]

Yuri71 - Imagine that the UAV received a refueling system in the air, thus the range of its flight increases significantly as well as the time spent in the air. And, with a range of 10 thousand kilometers, how will the operator control it? Only via satellite, although as an option an AWACS aircraft can be used, but only for target designation. And so, via satellite!

I think there is something else here. Perhaps it means that the UAV itself can be located, for example, at the Khmeimim base, in the combat zone and, accordingly, in the high-risk zone, which entails additional difficulties in ensuring the safety and financing of application and maintenance specialists. When using a satellite control channel, an expensive ground control station can be permanently located in an absolutely safe area in the interior of the country (even in the Kremlin, better in Voronezh), use operators without additional payments for a business trip to a combat zone, with normal working hours, and perform at the same time, the real combat mission is to patrol the designated area of ​​responsibility. In this case, it is not at all necessary to drive the device to the maximum range for the entire 10 km. The main thing is that the time of its continuous stay in the air is 000 hours, after which it will be replaced by another. And so it is possible to achieve round-the-clock continuous stay in the air in the desired area of ​​a set of reconnaissance and strike equipment while reducing risks to people and expensive control systems.

Do you really think these words are absolutely identical? If the strike UAV flew away beyond radio visibility, there is little sense from it - apply it won't work. And the radio horizon can be 400 ... 500 km with a practical range of 10 thousand km. However, the same applies to the reconnaissance UAV, if we are talking about the live broadcast of the situation.

About the latter. And how did the drone break down so that it was accompanied and filmed by an Iranian Air Force fighter, and moreover, the UAV sat down at the Iranian airfield and so clearly landed ...

Participants of cooperation in NATO were amused about Turkey.
A simple example, the foreign community of a dwarf state like Armenia, which is also a member of the CSTO, and we are essentially a military bloc opposing NATO, managed to ensure that the Turkish TV2 UAV was left without engines and electronics supplied from NATO countries. What kind of cooperation is this? What union ?!

Let's go further. What does the independence of the military-industrial complex mean? This is sovereignty. Turkey has now not been able to supply helicopters to Pakistan, before that and much more, having received an advance payment, it could not deliver to Azerbaijan, as a result, it bought almost everything from the list from us.

Turkey cannot now produce either the full-fledged Fyrtyn ACS or the Altai MBT, in general from the word at all, because there is no engine and no ... armor for this French-made tank, as a result, it somehow rivets the turrets and decided to put them on the Leopard MBT chassis 2. Do you understand what it is? ...

Turkey was left without an F-35 fighter, because the United States is a NATO ally. You say this is because of the purchase of the S-400 from us, well, so we also sold not a single S-300 air defense system to the Greeks, the same NATO country, but the Tor, and also the Osa-AKM from above, and nothing, no one is against the Greeks I did not impose any sanctions ... I repeat and give a real argument about the opposite, you Turks are on a short leash in NATO, something like, I apologize second-rate or something.

So once again, my recognition and respect, it is good for a Turk to write in Russian, but in the rest - go down from heaven to earth. There are realities and they are not so rosy.

In our country, too, during the pre-election period, a lot of things are told, shown, praised, promised and sulky in the ears, you are already there, in my opinion, into space.

It is such a competition, the Turks have raised their heads, they are developing their military-industrial complex, the USA does not need this, they block access to first-class technologies. To get them, Erdogan begins to compete. Everything is logical. This does not mean that they are not allies or there is some kind of conflict, it just is life.

The level of foreign direct investment in Turkey in 2020 was $ 4,4 billion (according to the opposition newspaper Sözcü). For comparison, to Russia - 1,4 billion (data from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation)

As you write, the outflow of capital from Russia amounted to $ 47,8 billion. Well, if you understand at least something, then you probably guess that this money did not come from thin air in our country, and the outflow in our country or countries becomes FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT, right? We invested almost $ 48 billion, we invested a maximum of $ 20 per year, then our outflow was almost twice as high as the current figures, and what are the conclusions?

Space, you say, Turkey does not yet have rocketry, but we are equal in the number of launched satellites this year. 2 for us, 2 for the Turks. If things go on like this, they will overtake them in launches. The plan announced by Erdogan is real, executable within the specified time frame.

Not delighted with our authorities, but not ecstatic with some of their fellow citizens.
Of course, we have a lot of problems, but Turkey is far from our equal. Even in terms of dollars like GDP, etc.
If we turn to our capabilities and proceed from our internal prices, the gap between us is simply HUGE, in that sisle and technological, even taking into account how you correctly noted that we are largely driving on the backlog of the times of the USSR, this is called continuity. But even giant China, for example, has no such groundwork, what can we say about Turkey.

For us in global defense, UAVs like Turkish TV2 and others are not so important. And where it was necessary to eat our own, we develop this direction, and also took the best foreign. But for example the same "Okhotnik", it has only one analogue abroad, which is also in the testing stage, and the technology itself is not available to the same Turkey, its much more advanced Israel, or the same China. Only we and the United States, and here we can talk about parity and importance, something to compare.
We could compare our Su-57 by many criteria with the F-22, or the F-35, but this is the United States and we have no competitors here, China with its crafts on our engines does not count, and what kind of Turkey is there, for example, Japan has not yet approached to the pre-production or final appearance of your fighter.
